There’s great perspective involved in hearing one part of a lockdown project during lockdown and the other part at the tail end. Alternately, one might regard the project as a look forward and a look back, like Janus. As I grew older, I came to cherish these records and times even more.Last year, we reviewed Bruno Bavota‘s Apartment Songs and Apartment Loops, noting that each EP was technically a Volume 1 and would “be joined by its other half somewhere down the line, with the possibility of a mega-release in 2021.” Now that time has come! One might consider the separated halves soulmates, separated by COVID restrictions, finally reunited. We cherish all the records and times we have been making since our debut. I also want to tell our fans that we don’t forget about the course we’ve been walking on. As they have been emphasizing throughout their latest activities and album, GOT7 is their home, and together, any path they walk upon will bloom. I think for GOT7, it’s ‘the next thing that (we) want to do.’Īnd while their solo careers have brought joy to the members and helped them in their musical journey, Jay B reminds fans that no matter how far they go from here, it is their past together that has given them a solid foundation to flourish, and GOT7 will never forget that. “Every team has a different driving force that keeps it going for a long time. GOT7 can be assured and at peace no matter the storm. Whether apart or together, the members always listen to and support each other. Jinyoung summed up GOT7’s mentality as a group beautifully: without caring about what others think, without being shaken by those who wish to bring them down, with only the thoughts of each other and their desires, GOT7 will continue forward on the path they choose. Whenever we get back together after feeling lonely during solo activities, we feel more comfortable and realize that we are the best when we are together. Instead, we listen to other’s opinions more smoothly compared to the past. Now, all GOT7 members are carrying on their own careers and they all tried things they wanted to try. They are no longer limited to painting with only a few colors but can mix their colors to paint GOT7’s canvas in many different ways. Now that the members have all tried new things and have had time to establish themselves, the greed has disappeared as they no longer have to decide whose color to show in a song or an album. Yugyeom commented that creating music led to healthy competitiveness and greed in growing their talents as artists when the group was together. Our solo activities helped us a lot eventually.
Since we enjoyed our own time, we now have more ideas for our group activities… As we tried things we wanted to do, we felt the value of being together. We needed a time to feel relaxed and try something alone. After discovering more of who they were as individuals, they could truly appreciate being together and the artistry they shared. As GOT7 each have diverse personalities and passions for art, having time to explore who they were as a person helped them relax and grow into their skin. Similarly, Youngjae shared how their solo activities were beneficial to the members individually and as a group overall.
